A mountain path through the foothills of the Drakensberg — Drakensberg region · representative photograph, not this specific trail

The Cathedral Peak Hotel, about two and a half hours from Durban in the Drakensberg foothills, maintains a graded table of day walks departing from the hotel grounds. Ashlea's Amble is a 40-minute easy round trip, and Doreen Falls is a gentle 1.5-hour round trip to a waterfall. These are separate from the hotel's longer routes such as Rainbow Gorge, rated moderate to strenuous at 4.5-5 hours, and the Cathedral Peak summit itself, a 9-10 hour guided route the hotel describes as for fit hikers only.
